Patient's question:
Why do women experience functional uterine bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Functional dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by the delayed maturation of the hypothalamus, which regulates the synthesis and release of pituitary gonadotropins. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis cannot function normally. Ovulation occurs abnormally, with follicular development in the ovaries that can secrete estrogen but fails to mature. The estrogen level in the blood fluctuates with the growth and atrophy of the follicles. When estrogen levels are high, the endometrium proliferates; when estrogen levels are low, the endometrium loses support and undergoes necrosis, shedding, and bleeding.Recommendations: The treatment principle is to correct anemia, supplement nutrition, and ensure adequate rest. Under the guidance of a doctor, sex hormones should be used to stop bleeding, followed by ovulation induction and cycle adjustment.
Lifestyle Management: After the condition is controlled, it is essential to pay attention to exercise, enhance physical fitness, improve health levels, prevent excessive fatigue, avoid mental stress, and maintain menstrual hygiene to prevent recurrence.
